March 2, 2023 - A lovely bottle of Lafite showing elegance and charm in a fairly lean package. Lighter-bodied but possesses that beautiful chiseled graphite finish that differentiates Lafite. Drinking well now and it must be one of the top wines of this off-maligned vintage.

November 18, 2022 - So elegant and integrated after 11 years only, would have estimated 25 years. Fruit still there, but overall in the oxidation phase already. Good example that simple vintages age sooner. Drink now.
